"It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack."
The patients ranged from young children to adults and their injuries ranged from critical to minor. Some would need multiple surgeries and some had been taken to other health facilities around the country.
Police Commissioner Mike Bush said local police had committed "some absolutely acts of bravery" to arrest the three men and one woman following the shootings. Officers would have immediate access to firearms, he said.
"We are not aware of other people, but we cannot assume there are not others at large."
